Resumen

Superconducting MgB2 films were prepared by sequential e-beam evaporation of boron and magnesium on randomly oriented sapphire, glassy carbon and silicon substrates followed by an in-situ annealing. Ion beam analysis (IBA) methods using a 2530 keV 3He+ beam were applied to obtain the Mg and B film profiles by Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and nuclear reaction analysis (NRA). It was found that Mg and B diffuse rather deeply into the substrates due to the annealing process. A presence of O and C in the MgB2 films was detected, apparently as formation of MgO and eventually B2O3. The zero resistance critical temperatures Tco values were 28 K for MgB2/Al2O3 and 25 K for MgB2 /C samples. Because of a rather high annealing temperature of 700 °C, we obtained Tco=8 K only in the case of MgB2/Si(111) sample.
